Korean BBQ

A few years ago hubby and I attended one of my vendor's bowling parties at this mom and pop old school bowling alley in Montrose. For these of you wondering where Montrose is it's about 10 minutes north on the 2 freeway. The party was a fun time so we went again and again, as the bowling party was an annual event for my vendor.

Was it fate? Anyhow, each year we ended up sitting next to the same couple when it came time to grub on food. And each year we would chat the evening away with the couple. Eventually, someone had the great idea of getting together outside of the bowling party and that is how we meet our friends Verona and Dave. For a few years now, we have been getting together with them and their family.

They like to call hubby and I their kids even though they have a daughter near our age and an adopted son who is in college. After hanging out with them so much we kind of feel like part of their family. We even met Verona's mom at a Fake Neil Diamond Concert the other night. The thing I can appreciate about Verona and Dave is their sense of fun and that is why I like them so much. I can only hope when I am older I can have ask much fun as they do together.

Their daughter, Bree, who is a couple years younger than us invited us to Sunday dinner yesterday. Apparently she was introducing her folks to Korean BBQ for the first time and wanted to know if we wanted to be part of the fun. Of course I had to be part of the experience only to see Dave try and use chopsticks! So we accepted her invitation and joined the family in Ktown a.k.a. Korean Town for Sunday dinner. We even meet a new family member, one of their cousins.

It was Brian's first time at Korean BBQ and my second time. My first experience was just okay and I really didn't think I would try it again but I guess all things need a second chance to shine. So thus, I accepted the invitation to spend time with my friends rather then eat BBQ. But all ended well because not only did I have a lot of great laughs with my friends but my second time at Korean BBQ was awesome and I am glad I gave the food a second chance. Here are some photos our night out:

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

Surfing Goat Diary

We left the store and headed to the Surfing Goat Diary, again, this was a second trip for us but what was different this time is that we scheduled an hour long tour. Last time we arrive right before closing and were rushed. We spent a fair amount of time there exploring before the tour. We tried their cheesecake, we met the cats and dogs that roamed the place, we played in the playground, we pet and fed the baby goats that were penned up, and pursued the little store. Penny was eager to get her hands on the chocolate goat milk truffles. I must admit they did look good. I had my eyes on a t-shirt and a mug. Our tour started at 3:30pm that day and we met all the goats and learned all about the farm. But the most exciting part of the tour was getting the opportunity to milk the goats. Penny was quite a good milker. A friend later reminded me that Penny was breastfed (wink, wink). By the time the tour ended we were extremely hot. Maui was hot but also humid. We were ready to...

My Favorite Gourmet Trucks

As of last night, I have now tried 18 food trucks! Only 60 more to go! My friends, Krueger and Kristy joined me at 55 Degree Wine in Atwar Village to try the always busy Grilled Cheese Truck! I have run into the truck a few times now but something has always prevented me from trying their food. Mostly the really, really long lines!! This time the hour wait wasn't so bad with two girls to gossip with. By the time we got to the front we were ready to execute our food plan. Kristy took lead and placed an order for 3 sandwiches (the brie, the mac-n-cheese and the rib meat) plus the dessert sandwich and some tator tots!!! I was a bit bummed that they didn't have the sandwich I went for, the Harvest sandwich but the 3 sandwiches we got more than made up for everything. I was glad to try this truck with 2 girls because we split the sandiches in 3rds which was awesome because I got to try a variety of their sandwiches. Now I must add the Grilled Cheese Truck to my list of fa...
